You are solely responsible for all reversed or charged back transactions, regardless of the reason for, or timing of, the reversal or chargeback. UfitPay may add or remove one or more payment types or networks at any time. If we do so we will use reasonable efforts to give you prior notice of the removal.

If the Payout is not sufficient to cover the amounts due, you agree that we may debit your Bank Account for the applicable amounts, and/or set-off the applicable amounts against future Payouts. Upon our request, you agree to provide us with all necessary bank account and related information and grant us permission to debit amounts due from your Bank Account.
After transfer of funds is initiated to your Bank Account, we will update information on your UfitPay Dashboard to reflect settlement. Information regarding your transactions that are processed and settled using UfitPay (“Transaction History”) will be available to you when you login to your UfitPay Dashboard. While we will provide Transaction History in your UfitPay Dashboard, you are solely responsible for compiling and retaining permanent records of all transactions and other data associated with your UfitPay account as may be required for your business. UfitPay is not responsible for maintaining Transaction History or other records in a manner consistent with your record retention obligations.
Your Payout Schedule, which is the time it takes us to initiate a transfer to your Bank Account settled funds from transactions processed through us is on your UfitPay Dashboard. We reserve the right to change your Payout Schedule, suspend payouts to your Bank Account or initiate a reversal should we deem it necessary due to pending disputes, excessive or anticipated excessive Chargebacks or Refunds, or other suspicious activity associated with your use of UfitPay, or if required by law, a lawful requirement of a regulatory authority or court order.
You authorise and instruct UfitPay to hold, receive, and disburse funds on your behalf when such funds from your transactions settle from the Card Networks/Payment Partner. By accepting this Agreement, you further authorise UfitPay on how your transaction settlement funds should be disbursed to you as Payouts and the timing of such Payouts.
You agree that you are not entitled to any interest or other compensation associated with the settlement funds held by UfitPay pending settlement and Payout to your Bank Account.
Settlement funds will be held in a deposit account at UfitPay pending Payouts to you in accordance with the terms of this contract. We may periodically make available to you information about pending settlements yet to be received from the Card Networks/Payment Partner.
Your authorisations will remain valid and be of full effect until your UfitPay Account is closed or terminated.

Although, we cannot guarantee that unauthorised third parties will never be able to defeat those measures or use such personal information for improper purposes. We will however take all reasonable and commercially achievable measures to address any security breach as soon as we become aware.
You are required to provide a dedicated IP address which will be configured to your UfitPay Disbursement profile. You understand that if you fail to provide the IP address, you do so at your own risk. You equally indemnify UfitPay in the event your failure to provide the dedicated IP address leads to a security breach on UfitPay.
You agree to use other procedures and controls provided by us and other measures that are appropriate for your business to reduce the risk of fraud.
In the event that you suspect any fraudulent activity by a customer, you agree to notify UfitPay immediately and quit the delivery of the service. In addition, where we suspect that there have been frequent fraudulent transactions on your account, we reserve the right to cancel our Service to you and/or your account

Where we owe you money as a result of such errors, we will refund the amounts owed to you by a bank transfer to your Bank Account.
If a transaction is erroneously processed through your platform, you shall report to us immediately. We will investigate any such report and attempt to rectify the errors by crediting or debiting your Bank Account as appropriate.
Failure to notify us within 45 (forty-five) days of the occurrence of an error will be deemed a waiver of your rights to amounts that are owed to you due to an error.
A Chargeback usually happens when a customer files directly with or disputes through his or her credit or debit card issuer a payment on their bill. It may result in the reversal of a transaction. You may be assessed Chargebacks for (i) customer disputes; (ii) unauthorised or improperly authorised transactions; (iii) transactions that do not comply with Card Network Rules or the terms of this Agreement or are allegedly unlawful or suspicious; or (iv) any reversals for any reason by the Card Network, our processor, or the acquiring or issuing banks. Where a Chargeback occurs, you are immediately liable for all claims, expenses, fines and liability we incur arising out of that Chargeback and agree that we may recover these amounts by debiting your Bank Account. Where these amounts are not recoverable through your Bank Account, you agree to pay all such amounts and you grant us the right to enforce this payment through any other means.
n our sole discretion, we may place a Reserve on a portion of your Payouts by holding for a certain period such portion where we believe there is a high level of risk associated with your business. If we take such steps, we will provide you with the terms of the Reserve which may include the percentage of your Payouts to be held back, period of time and any other such restriction that UfitPay may deem necessary. Where such terms are changed, we will notify you. You agree that you will remain liable for all obligations related to your transactions even after the release of any Reserve. In addition, we may require you to keep your Bank Account available for any open settlements, Chargebacks and other adjustments.
To secure your performance of this Agreement, you grant UfitPay a legal claim to the funds held in the Reserve as a lien or security interest for amounts payable by you.
You agree that you are solely responsible for accepting and processing returns of your products and services. We are under no obligation to process returns of your products and services, or to respond to your customers’ inquiries about returns of your products and services. You agree to submit all Refunds for returns of your products and services that were paid for through UfitPay to your customers in accordance with this Agreement and relevant Card Network Rules.
You may terminate this Agreement by closing your UfitPay Account.
